I live in MA. Is it possible to use the grid for one circuit breaker panel and Solar/battery hybrid for second panel? i.e. the two are separate circuits. Tesla told me that no solar installer would do it. Is this true? If so, why? If not, what are the pros/cons with this.

AC Panel #1 = is normal Grid Power only
AC Panel #2 = is PV Array + Tesla Power Wall only = OFF-GRID
Is 50% off-grid legal in you area?
There is a lawsuit filed by a homeowner in Florida attempting to go 100% off-grid with PV + Power Wall 2,
but an ordinance requires a grid connection.Last edited by NEOH; 11-09-2017, 10:32 AM.Comment

As NEOH mentioned a homeowner in Florida is being fined for having a home totally off grid within the city limits. He is breaking a local law which IMO defines being "illegal".Comment

Why would you do this. Get bimodal or hybrid.
in this set up
panel 1 is grid and solar back feed
panel 2 is grid and solar with backup from battery.
far more efficient than
panel 1 grid only
panel 2 solar off grid
